The opposition National Restoration Party (NAREP) has asked Government and the Patriotic Front to unreservedly apologize to the nation over the behavior of the alleged PF cadres at the cathedral of the holy cross this morning.
UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema this morning survived an attack from suspected PF cadres at the funeral service for late Mama Betty Kaunda, which has since been postponed after her husband; Dr. Kenneth Kaunda fell ill and has since been admitted to the University Teaching Hospital.
NAREP secretary general Mike Muyawala said that it is deeply shocking and worrying to see the alleged PF cadres throw insults and punches at their UPND counterparts at a time when the entire nation is mourning.
Mr. Muyawala said that the behavior by the alleged PF cadres clearly shows a sign of lack of principles and morals.
He told QFM that what happened this morning is a call to the PF government to set its house in order and prove that they are a Government and Party with a vision.
Mr. Muyawala said that it the PF has any issues with the opposition UPND; they should sort them out somewhere else and not at the funeral of late mama Kaunda because she was never political and lived a quiet and peaceful life.
Forget it Mike Muyawala.You think Pf will own up to that ? Not in the real world my friend.It is political suicide for any party to do such a thing.
we we to rid ourselves of PF soon than later
I don’t want PF to lose support
Why does MCP always move with cadres??? When called for interview to the police he delays until he gets enough drunk cadres. Nokulosha you need cadres. Grow up Badala.
Declaring Psalm 35 over everyone and the root cause of  violence and chaos in the country. Zambia is a peaceful country and we do not need it to be tainted, the legacy of a peaceful nation shall live on to the next generations. HH continue maintaining your calm and Maturity and Zambians themselves will decide. Why are the churches, NGO’s so quiet over what is going on in the country, tribalism, Barotseland, oppression and refusal of rallies. May the Lord arise over our Land, Zambia belongs to Jesus and our land shall not be defiled by evil, Jesus defeated all evil  on the cross of Calvary.
amen
Animals in govt. whn we said vote 4 literates,u said donchi kubeba. muzdazdi onela mweka!
To the opposition retaliation  is not the way forward no one will know the difference between who is violent, learn from Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta is accused of organzing a gang to fight back and retaliate aganst ODM’s attack he is facing trail at the hague together wth Ruto who was accused of organised the attacks. Violence does not pay, just be calm, mature  engange the police if they are non responsve engange human rights groups and the Hague. Zambia s a peaceful country and it does not need violence in Jesus name.
If you cannot be protected, you better protect yourself. That is the law of natural justice
We need servant leadershp in Zambia and not this violence and causing chaos to get leadership and maintain leadership. May the Lord raise  the right leaders for Zambia who will preserve the peace of our land and trully serve everyone in Zambia. Politicians both ruling and opposition beware and be warned do not turn our country into a battlefield to serve interests best known to your selves.Â
God will not sit back when you cause violence and chaos, he will fight back and really hard  he needs peace in our country so that people may come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. People are praying for Zambia,do not bring untold suffering to the innocent Zambians. Do not be a hindrance to God’s plans over Zambia, may the lord visit you with terrifying dreams and visions like Nebuchadnezzar Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin. If you do not repent may psalm 35 become reality over you and your families.
politics in zambia as expected. maybe the solution now is to get rid of HH so that ubwato remains without any voice from him and his colleagues. let the pf thugs find simple method of eliminating HH and not at a funeral but at nutral ground where none will suspect. He is really giving them problems including some known media houses like the post and others.
May this God we serve listen to your plea and unleash the same wrath on you, your wife, mother, father, children and siblings. May God protect his children and whack the devil’s children like you!
LT. Give me IP address of Millazcom who I suspect to be Miles Sampa the chief thug. I want to convince him that assasnation is not the solution
That’s PF and MMD nature.
chawama pangaman formula back in governancy
That is indeed sad news at such a dignified funeral! Anyway what do you expect from a party where thugly starts from the leader himself. Thanks to the Upnd security wing for being alert & for sure that our president in waiting HH is safe. HH we love you & just be careful pf is composed of people who are a danger to people’s lives. God bless Zambia.
Just wait for the biased report from the pf praise choir(post) by the its choir master(Mumembe) tomorrow. Whatever the saltless reporting by the pro-papers HH we love you & please just continue being calm & showing maturity as you handle state issues. Only time will tell & stop worring bcoz your those that hate you have been EXPOSED. Thumbs up indeed to Upnd security wing not ba CNP.
Arrest those thugs pliz.
HH is actually becoming more popular check his move the guy is in it. PFwill be a one term party
If this news is correct, I implore President Sata to discipline those cadres. It is foolishness to fight HH at funerals of such nature. Please the Zambian Police arrest those stupid cadres regardless of their polical affiliation. Those useless politics are gone and people should behave. Please PF tell those useless excited cadres to behave themselves. In fact you PF have to be very careful because you are ruling, know that people will provoke you any how and if you start behaving like the MMD cadres just know that you will lose support soon. Who has ears let him hear.Â
It is really shameful about what is happening at funerals and more specifically on sacred grounds of God where we are all called to show love for one another. My suggestion is this, for any future funerals of political leaders, for the sake of maintaing peace in the country, attendance should be STRICTLY BY INVITATION. We can not allow this animal behaviour to continue when we can stop this nonsense without shedding blood. Let all sound mind take heed! From now on, ATTENDANCE OF STATE FUNERALS SHOULD BE STRICTLY BY INVITATION. We want our departed brothers to go in PEACE and not in PIECES because of some selfish individuals who want to plunge the country into chaos. The police should also learn to be professional and exercise their impartiality in handling these matters.
Manzi yakonka mufolo. Thugs lead power fairlures therefore Zambians must understand we’re at a crossroad . panga wielding pf thugs will do everything to preserve their power. Sata & GBM & mmembe are responsible..ask kabimba
pray to God mother zambia time will come when you wil say AMEN,Glory be to GOD
This is the trend in Zambia of finger pointing. This was the order of the day when UNIP was in power. This shifted to MMD and now PF. I am sure if UPND was in power, the story line will be the same going by how UPND beat up Chizyuka at his press conference in Lusaka.
So, what is the problem with Zed politics? Who is the driver of this kind of politics? My answer is the way the different leaders have conducted themselves. The people behaviour is a reflection of it’s leaders. PF should bring to book of these cadres but dont forget that HH has a hand in infuriating cadres 2 to behave in this manner. HH is on the crusade of assaulting the seating govt at whatver cost to the extent of name calling. if this behaviour does not change with HH, can assure u, that these fights will never end too.
Apologising for what? We have heard thse apologies before and they do not work under this violent leader. We need arrests and conviction with toughest prison terms to act as deterrent for other thugs. Enough is enough. If the president fails to act there must be some form of demonstrations against government for tolerating violence. This is sickening, and 2016 elections are just too far to see off this accidental president.
Judge Ngoma is free, so what long term sentences for thugs can one expect?
it really sad behavour but how sure you are the are pf or is the same HH organising this to tash the name of pf because the zambia politics have read a violence stage were we cant know is right and wrong
this goes to wanya wanya 10.1 reply to 10, sorry to mention that pf thugs shuld find a calmly place to kill HH but its supposed to be finding lasting solution to protect HH and his colleagues in opposition because this problem has been there for decades and none appear to provid a lasting solution.
@ Remak makai. Why dont you just accept that pf cadres are violent. How stupid are you to think that HH can send known pf cadres to beat UPND members? Do you think jere would hav been quiet? Those people would hav been arrested by now and that would hav dominated the news headlines in the govt controlled media inst. You are so stupid. I think your wife has got very hole and water.
they should tame their dogs..am sure their balls were itching when they took tujilijili..pf..awe
where is pf taking us.this is bullshit.
arresst caders
We all love you HH as our dear brother, do not label us tribalists, but the traits of HH, oh he is second to none. A leader must be serious all the time, in fact that is how a leader instills seriousness among his counterparts and that way he is readily given what is due to him. How can a leader convey a message of no jokes to these modern untrustworthy big business owners and other govt. leaders such as the Chinese, Americans, Europeans, Brazilians, Indians or S.Africans. Why should a leader waste his time partnering with leaders like Mugabe, a spent cartilage. Therefore, HH I am sure your psychologists are advising you very well and please, heed to their professional advice. You look like an educated and an articulate head of a state. Viva brother HH.
